The Japanese Odyssey will be back in 2025.

We are currently working on the next edition.
Allow us some time while we set a brand new course, exploring roads that have never be taken before, as well as revisiting unmissable climbs from previous editions.

So what’s the Japanese Odyssey?
Let’s begin by saying what it isn’t. The Japanese Odyssey is not a race.
It is an ultracycling event, aiming at pushing yourself to your limits, while exploring rural and remote Japan.
Be prepared to be amazed by the incredible landscapes Japan has to offer; be astounded by the unrivaled autumn colours.
Be prepared to suffer through relentless climbing.
Be prepared for deep forests and small rindō, beautiful roads and gravel paths.
Be prepared for wildlife encounters.
Be prepared for true solitude.
Be prepared.
